A Journey of Growth and Empowerment

Volleyball is more than a game at CVA – it’s a journey. Our mission is to unleash the champion within you through passion, excellence, and teamwork. We turn talent into triumph, using volleyball as a launchpad for life.

A Family United in Purpose

At CVA, we’re more than a team – we’re a family. We cultivate an environment of camaraderie, respect, and lasting bonds. Victory comes from facing challenges with unbreakable spirit. We celebrate every moment, shaping our athletes into champions of life.

Our commitment to excellence shines through
in our S.E.R.V.E. Values:

What this means: Every athlete is unique.

You’re not just another player to us – you’re a person with dreams and potential.

We’re committed to showing what healthy volleyball looks like.

We respect the time, money, and trust families invest in our program.

How we do it: Coaches focus on your long-term growth, not just next week’s tournament.

We train smart to prevent burnout and injuries.

We’re transparent about costs and value.

We share what we learn with other programs because a rising tide lifts all boats.

What this means: Excellence isn’t just about being the best player – it’s about being your best self.

Real victory? That’s growth, effort, and character development right alongside athletic achievement.

It’s how you treat your teammates when you’re losing.

It’s how you handle the ref’s bad call.

It’s who you become through volleyball, not just the trophies on your shelf.

Here’s the competitive truth: Champions are built through character.

Our athletes perform at elite levels precisely because they’re free from fear.

When your teammates genuinely want you to succeed, you play better.

It’s that simple.

How we do it: Character development happens every practice, every game.

We celebrate when someone helps a struggling teammate just like we celebrate a perfect kill.

You’ll learn that handling adversity well matters more than avoiding it.

We develop the mental toughness that wins championships – because attitude and skill are equally important.

What this means: Volleyball brings us together, but relationships keep us together.

We’re a family where everyone belongs and everyone matters.

Your teammates aren’t your competition – they’re your support system.

And coaches? They care about who you are, not just how you play.

How we do it: Team bonding isn’t optional – it’s essential.

When conflicts happen (and they will), we handle them with grace and learn from them.

Parents aren’t just writing checks – they’re partners in this journey.

Our alumni stay connected because CVA relationships last way beyond graduation.

What this means: Integrity. Respect. Perseverance. These aren’t just words on a wall – they’re how we operate.

The values you learn through volleyball will guide you through life.

We’re developing leaders for your school, your community, your future.

Building character is just as important as building skills.

How we do it: Our coaches don’t just teach volleyball – they model humility, perseverance, and integrity every day.

You’ll learn to celebrate others’ success while pursuing your own.

You’ll handle winning with grace and losing with resilience.

You’ll find ways to give back, because that’s what leaders do.

What this means: Volleyball is one chapter in your story – we’re preparing you for the whole book.

You’ll graduate CVA with rock-solid self-worth that doesn’t depend on your stats.

Communication, leadership, mental toughness – these skills transfer everywhere.

You’ll leave knowing you can handle whatever life throws at you.

Here’s what wins games: Confident athletes win more. Period.

When you know your worth isn’t tied to the scoreboard, you play fearlessly in championship moments.

That’s not psychology – that’s proven performance.

How we do it: Life skills are woven into every practice.

You’ll learn to lead and even coach younger players.

We teach real strategies for handling pressure, bouncing back from failure, and staying humble in success.

College recruiters? They get character references along with your athletic stats and that makes you stand out.

HOW SERVE VALUES WORK IN VOLLEYBALL

The Serve in Volleyball:

Think about it – the serve starts everything. It’s the one skill completely in your control. A strong serve sets the tone, gives your team the advantage, and requires precision, power, and mental toughness. You serve alone, but you serve for your team.

Serving as Leadership:

Real leaders put team success before personal glory. The best leaders? They make everyone around them better. That’s where fulfillment comes from – helping others succeed and grow. It’s about being part of something bigger than yourself.

SERVE at CVA:

Every day, every interaction is a chance to make someone better. Your talents? They’re gifts meant to be shared. Success isn’t just about winning – it’s about how well you support your teammates and community. That’s how volleyball creates leaders for life.

THE CVA DIFFERENCE

When people ask what makes CVA different, we point to SERVE:
 Other programs develop good volleyball players.
CVA builds great people who happen to play volleyball exceptionally well.
Other programs chase rankings and trophies.
CVA pursues lasting success and joy in the game.
Other programs take from athletes.
CVA invests in athletes.
Other programs treat families as customers.
CVA welcomes families as partners
Other programs think winning requires sacrifice.
CVA proves that athletes who feel valued, play with joy, and support each other win more championships – and keep loving the game.

EXCELLENCE THROUGH CHARACTER

We win differently. And we win more.

Our track record speaks for itself: When athletes feel genuinely cared for and play without fear of failure, they perform their best when it matters most. Character under pressure separates good teams from championship teams. It’s competitively smarter to build this way.
When young women know their worth isn’t tied to their performance, they’re free to play with the confidence and fearlessness that wins tournaments and earns scholarships. This isn’t the easier way – it’s the better way.
This is volleyball as it was meant to be: Building champions for life who also happen to be champions on the court.
“The serve is the only skill in volleyball that is completely in your control. Character is the same way- it’s completely in your control. At CVA, we master both.” – Kent Littlejohn
